They called it “freebase,” and their flying skills made the difference between life and death.

]]>It appears 1995 was the early days of who we now refer to as “Jetman.” Back in the 90′s, skysurfing was big and Swiss pilot/skydiver Yves Rossy was one of the early adopters. Back then, there was some discussion in Switzerland about the purchase of new F18 fighter jets for the airforce. Yves built a model fighter jet and skysurfed on top of it… just so he would be the first Swiss pilot to fly an F18 in Switzerland (for some reason, it ended up being a Mirage III model — the same plane Yves was flying in the airforce at the time). Now you know. #TBT

Yeah, me neither, but check out “The Eloy Crew, Vol. 1.” I have no idea how old this footage is from Skyventure Arizona, but it’s all sorts of awesome. #TBT

Cheers to these trailblazers and their crazy antics while testing parachutes back in the day (Soviet Union, circa 1980s). Apparently all it took back then was a little courage and facial fur. #tbt

I still don’t think anything beats this other BASE jumping footage with round parachutes back in the day. That’s just bat-shit crazy!!

]]>Here’s a blast from the past for a random Thursday Throwback. I can’t understand a word they’re saying, but the footage speaks for itself. Jumping off a cliff with a round parachute back in the day. Talk about adventure-seekers. Here’s to these guys who paved the way for all the cool shit we get to do today. If you’re looking for more old school footage, check out this crazy parachute test jump from the 1930s.
